Buffalo Bills select Dorian Williams with 91st overall pick
General Information:
- Position: LB

Williams was an anchor of a Green Wave defense that found itself in the Cotton Bowl this past season. He won Most Outstanding Defensive Player honors in the game. Williams makes a lot of tackles – 131 in total last season. The Bills need another linebacker, and got one here with the 91st overall pick.

General Information:
- Position: OG

Buffalo Bills select Dalton Kincaid with 25th overall pick
General Information:
- Position: TE
- College: Utah

In a bit of a surprise move, the Buffalo Bills traded up to a 25th pick and drafted tight end Dalton Kincaid from Utah on Thursday, during the first day of the NFL Draft. Kincaid was a projected 2nd round pick by most draft outlets.
Kincaid comes to Buffalo after a dominant season with the Utes. He led his team with 70 receptions, 890 yards, and 8 touchdowns.
